Basically the short answer is yes but you will have to either download an app or visit one of the several websites that provide free txting. This tablet does not carry a SIM and therefore does not directly support texting in the way one with a network connection would. Hope that is helpful. There are tons of apps for it though.

Since this is a touch screen phone you use it instead of using your finger. I rarely use it with this phone but I do use a stylus with my iPad.

I don't believe it has this style of texting. You can save the messages after opening them in up to 10 message files you can rename.

No, this phone does not come with a built in stylus nor does it has a built in stylus porch/holder. However, the seller gave me 2 stylus pens as a complementary gift.

I have not set text message up. I set it through email instead. I think it can be set through text message. Maybe I should look into it again too. There was some complication when doing that.

If you have the correct app, then you can text Android devices, as well. Two apps that I know will allow this are textfree and pinger. Both are free.

It has handwriting recognition. A stylus will work, but there is not one attached.

No...I believe it's just an additional resource for apps that allow a stylus for taking notes, etc... Mine works fine without it.

No. You can get a generic stylus, but it is not better than using a finger (less smears perhaps).

No, but since it is a keyboard I didn't need a stylus to type. I have an inexpensive stylus that I can use on my android if I need it.

Believe you can text, but I never used it. The sound is good depending on where you are and who your carrier is The tiny keyboard is querty.

Are you referring to the handwriting tool on the galaxy tab? If so, you must switch to that tool instead of the using the onscreen keyboard. Then you just write with the stylus as if it were a regular pen.

Yes, there is a keyboard for texting, which pops up(when the phone is in the vertical position) whether the qwerty is attached or not. Turn it to the horizontal position and the virtual keyboard disappears and you can type on the qwerty. It is much easier and faster to text using the qwerty keypad though...the qwerty has all the letters and the virtual keypad has the Abc, Def, etc...that you have to scan through to get the right letter.

There is in fact no tab button. If you are using it on an iPhone there is a slight annoyance of no way to send a text message you just typed. Other than those two problems though it is great. I have used it with my computer as well and it worked fine. Hope this helps you out.
